    Are there any scummier companies than pharma? Maybe private prisons, but few come close.

      Blackwater/Academi. If you can't afford to pay off the people controlling the actual US military we still have PMCs willing to provide their Walmart brand alternative imperialism.

    Actually sweaty, the margins are for the research and development they won't do.

      The research for this one was funded by a government grant. So they don't even have that excuse.

        Would like to hear a pro-free market person explain why this is better than just nationalizing pharma research and production...

          Hold on let me try. Because they can make lots of money potentially they will work really hard to find a cure, even though the government gave them money to do it. The government cant do it because red tape or something

    That’s why, as shareholder, we are calling on Gilead to reconsider their pricing,

    Real strong backbone you got there ya dork. I'm sure politely asking them will fix everything.

    .... In the early phases of our guerrilla war, pharmacies will be quickly liberated by Red Guard units and their life-saving medicines will be distributed to a joyous peasant-worker alliance, binding them evermore to the revolutionary project

    Gilead is a horrible corp. They also make Trucada which also costs an extremely low amount to make, but costs around $2000 a month.
